If you know me, you know that one of my largest motivating passions is to help kids that have been forgotten or lost in the world.

And today presents an urgent opportunity.

The cyclone in Myanmar has killed an estimated 50,000 people. Countless thousands are now homeless and without food. Many of these are children. Sadly, they live in a country where the government is military-driven and ill-equipped to provide the kinds of relief and compassion that is desperately needed.

We can feel helpless or we can try to help these children. One way to help is to give through Catholic Relief Services. They are on the scene and at work providing help and hope to the desperate. You can help a child by going to this site to give:

Christian faith is marked by its compassion for the hurting and the lost. In fact, Jesus said our judgment will ride on how we respond to the broken and the desperate (Mt. 25.31-46). May God use our meager efforts to bring relief and mercy to hurting children.
